WHEAT-The situdtion is an anomalous one
par icularly at this sea-on OF the year. The
months OF September, october and November
are generally notable for an active export busi-
ness, but this year there is no di position to

in 1886. so far this month, not single cargo
has been clear d. and, The month is more
than hall over, the promise OF ANY shipments
is far from promising. From the present out
look, il is probable that the number of vessels
